An alternative remeshing methodology for 3D Abaqus explicit analyses which utilizes mesh mapping is presented. Excessive element distortion in 3D large deformation analyses necessitates remeshing, however in Abaqus explicit, the standard 3D remeshing techniques limits the analyst’s choice of element type. The presented technique allows remeshing of 3D perfectly plastic fully integrated higher o...

Now a days product development using prototype methods for actual usage is a growing concept in engineering. Present work deals with simulation of Compact Tension specimen to get fracture parameters J – integral and Stress intensity factors of product built by polyjet technology 3D printer additive manufacturing system. FEA simulation is carried out with the help of Abaqus software by simulatin...

A computational model of the human head has been developed by Simpleware and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to simulate head impact. The head model was generated using high-resolution scan data, segmentation and image-based meshing techniques, and has been used in Abaqus for a range of simulations. The NRL/Simpleware head model addresses several key limitations of existing techniques ...

Biomechanical model of soft tissue derived from experimental measurements is critical for developing a reality-based model for minimally invasive surgical training and simulation. In our research, we focus on developing a biomechanical model of the liver under large tissue deformation. This paper presents the experimental apparatus, experimental data, and methods to model the experimental data ...
